Mediators are also called in the aftermath of a crisis or break-up, to help settle the loose ends and forge a smooth, stable future environment for everyone involved.

Agreements reached outside of court with the help of mediation are known to work better and last longer as they are carried out in a calm, stress free environment that is devoid of the natural rigidity and hostility of a court room. Rather than adhering to the judgment of a third party (i.e. a judge) partners will have the option of coming to a compromise which is to the liking of all involved. Disputes over children can often turn touchy because of their emotional ramifications and a calm, unbiased mediator can help to negotiate these stormy waters and come to a final agreement.

Mediators focus on providing an open and useful framework of communication (now and in the future) for the participants, rather than assigning blame or re-hashing old issues. This structured and therefore better quality communication between partners can also help to delineate good parenting practices and money management as the couple or family goes forward. This can prove extremely helpful for all the dependants, especially young children, who can also be involved in the mediation process.
